Erik Bedard, LHP, starter

Bedard is a hard thrower. He can touch 95mph at times, a dominant velocity from the left side. He tweaks his fastball by throwing a cut variety to either side of the plate. The cut fastball is subtle, but can be just enough to break a bat. Bedard owns a filthy Canadian Hammer, a curveball that breaks down and hard. His fourth pitch, a very distant fourth, is a changeup, a soft pitch that he'll show to RHs. 5/21/08 CSJ *fastball(87-92), curveball(73-78), cutter(86-91), changeup(75-76

Sean Green, RHP, reliever
	Green throws from a very low 3/4 arm angle, giving his fastball some good movement down. He has a slow, sweeping slider for his breaking pitch. Green will also throw a sinking changeup as his third pitch. 5/21/08 CSJ *fastball(84-91), slider(72-76), changeup

Ryan Rowland-Smith, LHP, reliever/starter
	Rowland 'Dash' Smith deals a full four-pitch repertoire out of the bullpen. He has an average, upper-80s fastball and a big, slow curveball. R-Smith will also mix in a changeup to both RHs and LHs. He owns a standard slider that rounds out his repertoire. 5/21/08 CSJ *fastball(84-90), curve(68-71), changeup(74-80), slider(75-78)

Felix Hernandez, RHP, starter

Felix' fastball is dominant. He can hit 100mph with his 4-seamer. Or, he can throw a moving 2-seamer in the low-90s. Felix snaps off two different breaking balls. His slider is very hard, and usually much sharper than the curve, but they both get nasty downward movement. Hernandez will mix in hard sinking changeups too. Felix is also South American. 5/22/08 CSJ *fastball(91-94), changeup(84-86), slider(82-87), curve(76-80)

Carlos Silva, RHP, starter
	Silva lives and dies with his sinking fastball. He'll throw it over 70% of the time, not interested in fooling anyone. His second pitch is a sinking changeup that he'll throw to LHs and RHs. He has two breaking balls, a slider and a curve. Both pitches are standard at best, and not used very often. 5/22/08 CSJ *fastball(86-91), changeup(79-82), curveball(74-76), slider(80-83)

Mark Lowe, RHP, reliever
	Mark Lowe is a Texan. He throws a low-90s fastball and mixes it with a straight changeup. He owns a basic slider for his breaking ball. 5/22/08 CSJ *fastball(90-96), changeup(82-87), slider(84-86)

Brandon Morrow, RHP, reliever

Morrow throws a fastball with excellent velocity, touching the upper-90s. He doesn't get much movement except for some 'rise' from the 4-seamer. He has two good non-fastball pitches too; a hard breaking curve and a split-joint. Morrow has started throwing a changeup in 2008, and is finally starting to show some command and success. 7/1/08 CSJ *fastball(95-97), splitter(85-87), curve(79-85), changeup(84)

Arthur Rhodes, LHP, reliever

Rhodes is back again. Ugh. These days he's throwing his fastball in the upper-80s, mixing in breaking balls in the low-80s. His stuff used to be lethal, especially against LHs, but now he has been reduced to being that old lefthanded specialist type guy. Update: Rhodes notched his first save since 2006 on 6/23 against the Mets. He was sitting at 93mph with his fastball and looking dominant. 6/24/08 CSJ *fastball(85-93), slider(82-86), changeup(87)

J.J. Putz, RHP, closer
	Putz throws a dominant fastball. It often sits in the mid-90s and is the only pitch he needs. He'll also throw splitters that dive when kept down, or will float to the plate like a changeup when left up. Putz has a very sharp slider that he'll mix in. He also owns the best CBSportsline Player News headline ever, (Putz, pitching like one). 5/22/08 CSJ *fastball(92-99), splitter(84-87), slider

Miguel Batista, RHP, starter

Batista continues to rely on his slider. His fastball tails and sinks, while his slider moves sharply to his glove side as it nears home plate. He'll throw the slider inside or outside at any count, to LH and RH. As he gets deep into starts, his slider can start to slow up and resemble more of a curveball. He also throws lots of splitters, and a rare changeup. He'll throw a curveball as his second breaking pitch. 7/1/08 CSJ *fastball(83-92), slider(80-87), splitter(78-84), curve(71), changeup(82)

Jarrod Washburn, LHP, starter

Washburn's fastball gets very little tail or sink, making Washburn a flyball pitcher. His fastball seems to get some natural cut, and he uses it most of the time. His off-speed pitch is a changeup, but he appears to hold it with some finger seperation. He has the reputation of varying his breaking balls significantly, throwing sliders between 75-81mph, then slowing it down to the low-70s for his curveball. 5/22/08 CSJ *fastball(83-90), changeup(77-79), curve(68-74), slider(75-81)

Roy Corcoran, RHP, reliever
	Corcoran has a fastball/slider/changeup repertoire. His slider gets good downward break and his fastball can tail or cut. 5/24/08 CSJ *fastball(87-92), slider(80-82), changeup(80-85)

R.A. Dickey, RHP, starter

Born without an ulnar collateral ligament in his pitching arm, Dickey has never worried about TJ surgery. At this point in Dickey's career, he has remade himself into a knuckleball pitcher. He used to call his knuckleball "The Thing", when it was an unpredictable low-80s pitch that complemented a "normal" repertoire. Now the knuckleball is option #1 over 75% of the time, with a mid-80s fastball option #2. 7/1/08 CSJ *knuckleball(59-81), fastball(82-87), curveball(65), changeup(72-74)
